To Be the One

[Verse 1]

Well the pills I got, they ask me

"Let's go out for a while"

And the knives up in the kitchen

Are all too dull to smile

[Verse 2]

Yeah, and the sun, it tries to warn me

"Boy, those wings are made of wax"

While the things I do to kill me

They just tell me to relax

[Verse 3]

But oh, Cinderella

All dressed up in all your boots and all your charms

I'm not the fellow

To protect you or to keep you from all your harm

[Chorus]

And I don't know which is worse

To wake up and see the sun

Or to be the one, be the one that's gone

[Verse 4]

And the empty bottle, it misses you

Yeah, and I'm the one that it's talking to

And with you and I just barely strangers

I'm pretty much just left a fool

[Verse 5]

Damn, don't the streets feel empty, though?

Just wandering 'round here without you

Oh, the empty bottle, it misses you

And I'm the one it's talking to

[Chorus]

And I don't know which is worse

To wake up and see the sun

Or to be the one, be the one that's gone
